Clearwater Festival Day One

Highlights from our first day at the Great Hudson River Revival:

Watching Clearwater sail on the beautiful Hudson River; Joanne Shenandoah; Tao Seeger's Brass Band; Tom Chapin; Storyteller Jesse Bruchac; the Blessing of the River; getting to see Pete and Toshi Seeger, to whom we owe the cleanup of our beloved river, as well as this wonderful musical festival.

And this was our first time sailing aboard the Clearwater. Kev helped raise her mainsail, and Mikro took a turn on the tiller, which I am sure he will remember fondly for the rest of his days.
